Return of national hunt game gets punters’ juices flowing

I PROBABLY love flat racing more than most, but you have got to say it is terrific to see the National Hunt game now getting into full swing.

You can have your Frankels and Sea The Stars’ ‘til the cows come home, but the flat will simply never capture the public’s imagination in the way the jumping game does.

Cork last Sunday was very much a case in point, it was a bit like the first meeting for a long time of old friends.
